Generic Operating Procedures for Routine Testing of Laboratory Balances

Weighing is a critical process in most laboratories. Regular lab balance calibration and maintenance is essential to get reliable, reproduceable laboratory data and ensure balances operate within specified tolerance limits. Next to lab balance services performed by a professional service supplier, routine testing is essential. However, balance users are often uncertain about how and how often such routine testing should be performed.

With a series of Generic Operating Procedures for Routine Testing of Laboratory Balances, Sartorius provides valuable information about routine testing of laboratory balances. These generic procedures can easily be implemented into a customer quality management system or used as a basis for one’s own operating procedures.
